While the Prime Minister fended off opposition derision and revolt from a few of his own backbenchers with his statement on Sue Gray’s pandemic partying, I was upstairs awaiting our guest who was in the chamber listening to Boris’ party piece.
But it was peace of quite another kind I’d come to Parliament to talk about - with The Right Honorable Dr Liam Fox MP, chair of the UK Abraham Accords Group. The Abraham Accords is a pact which normalises relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
We discuss the rapid pace of change it’s bringing to the Middle East, how Dr. Fox explains Britain’s role "on the front foot" and speaking as a former Trade and Industry Secretary in charge of negotiating new trade arrangements, how strategic it is to Britain in the post-Brexit era.
